Like The Naked Brothers Band, Big Time Rush is both a pop band and a Nickelodeon TV series. Launched in 2009, the show followed the fictional lives of four high-school friends as they move to Los Angeles, sign a record deal, and become a chart-topping boy band. The series also incorporated original music into each episode, effectively turning the fictional band onscreen into a real group featuring actor/vocalists Kendall Schmidt, James Maslow, Carlos Pena Jr., and Logan Henderson. As the first season drew to a close in 2010, Sony Music released the group’s first album, www.myspace.com/beteero, which was largely comprised of songs from the show. In 2011, Big Time Rush returned with their sophomore album, Elevate, featuring the singles "Music Sounds Better with You" and "If I Ruled the World." In 2012, the band made its feature film debut with "Big Time Movie". A spoof-tacular spy caper set in London, the film's soundtrack includes B.T.R.'s reworked cover versions of songs by the original boyband, The Beatles. ~ Andrew Leahey, Rovi
